From what I observed, if you don't give AI any design direction for frontend, it usually fallback to a design that:
- uses linear gradient for most background colors
- has box shadows & rounded corners for buttons, displays, etc.
- a generic sans-serif font
- "vibey" color palette
- uses linear gradient for most background colors
- has box shadows & rounded corners for buttons, displays, etc.
- a generic sans-serif font
- "vibey" color palette

It is year 2025.
- We have agentic AIs that sometimes give pretty good and surprisingly reliable answers & solutions.
- However, we still can't figure out a way to foolproof the layout system, so that we can reduce the amount of "How do I center a div?" questions being asked.
Ok world. 👍

I have mixed feelings about this. Saving compilation time is a worthy goal, but disabling debuginfo as a default is a strategy that only works because Rust's debugging experience is not very good.
It solves short term pain, but pushes the goalpost of good debugging experience even further.

Disable debuginfo to improve Rust compile times
This blog post is essentially a PSA on how you can easily improve dev incremental rebuild performance.

Reading the docs of the Rust crate `dpi`.
"Most notably, it can make users feel like they have bad eyesight..."
Ok, fair point.
"...which will potentially cause them to think about growing elderly, resulting in them having an existential crisis."
Well, that escalated quickly 😂.

I have completed Advent of Code 2024!
My first year completing the entire calendar (previous years attempts were incomplete). Learnt a lot about solving, testing & debugging skills (and also the need to be flexible at times ;)).
Enjoyed it a lot!

Q: How does Advent of Code determine the time to unlock for the next day?
A: Well, you can't rely on the client's local clock, because it can be inaccurate. Instead, server returns an ETA value in seconds, which is then used to "correct" the local clock before it is used by the countdown.

Thankfully I don't use JS/TS to do Advent of Code. 2024 day 17 part 2 was already hard for me, didn't need the programming language to turn the puzzle into the Dark Souls of coding. www.reddit.com/r/adventofco...
